The dress boasted 10 hockey sticks, a Stanley Cup replica and a scoreboard.

In a spectacular display of Canadiana on steroids, Miss Canada unveiled her massive, hockey-inspired national costume at the Miss Universe contest Wednesday evening.

Chanel Beckenlehner’s dress included a working LED scoreboard, a Stanley Cup crown, a dress made of a real hockey net from Canadian Tire and over-the-knee boots-slash-skates. In a nod to safety, the Caledon native, 26, wore teeny-tiny shoulder pads and body armour (also known as a corset).

“It’s really more the Victoria’s Secret version of hockey,” said Toronto-based costume designer Alex Kavanagh, eschewing the possibility of a helmet addition. “I wanted to help her make a splash on the stage.”

Indeed, the 11-kilogram costume made its splash on stage — and also on Twitter.

“What the ??” one person tweeted.

“Some mad neck strength there,” wrote another.

Beckenlehner, whom Kavanagh called sweet and passionate about representing Canada, approached Kavanagh back in August to create the outfit, which was displayed during the national costume round of the event.

“There’s no one thing that we wear — other than maybe a puffy parka — that would be considered a Canadian costume, so instead we tried to home in on what is the biggest part of the national spirit … hockey,” she said.

Kavanagh said Beckenlehner wanted the dress bigger and bigger.

“We knew that it would get a big reaction,” she said. “It’s the kind of pageant where you have to bring your A-game.”

She acknowledged that the hockey-goddess outfit was not a “literal” interpretation of a national costume and said it was fun to make.

Canada has a history of producing some eyebrow-raising outfits for the Miss Universe pageant, including a skimpy fringe bikini top with an aboriginal headdress and a large feathered maple-leaf inspired costume.

Beckenlehner’s costume is a finalist in the national costume fan vote. To vote, tweet using both #MissUniverseCanada and #MissUniverse.
